The word Advent is from the Latin adventus for "coming" and is associated with the four weeks of preparation for Christmas. Advent always contains four Sundays, beginning on the Sunday nearest the feast of St. Andrew the Apostle, (November 30) and continuing until December 24. WHY IS ADVENT IMPORTANT TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH? This is a period of preparation for the celebration of the Incarnation at Christmas. As Christmas seems to arrive commercially ever earlier each year, the faithful should try to turn our hearts more toward the Lord. WHY IS PURPLE USED IN ADVENT? Violet or purple, a symbol of suffering and penitence, is therefore the liturgical color used in Advent and in Lent. HOW DO YOU PREPARE YOURSELF DURING ADVENT? First, it is a good idea to pray more, possibly including the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary, the Franciscan Crown, and the Christmas Novena (see below), all of which call to mind the mysteries associated with the Lord coming into the world. It is also important to read Sacred Scripture, especially the Infancy Narratives of Matthew and Luke. The Catechism of the Catholic Church, chapters 2 and 3 of the Second Part on the Creed, expresses the Church's Faith in the Incarnation and Nativity of the Lord. Finally, to truly prepare, it is important to go to Confession at least once during the season, and maybe go to daily Mass and do Eucharistic Adoration when you are able. WHAT DO THE FOUR CANDLES OF THE ADVENT WREATH REPRESENT? The candles indicate the different weeks of Advent. When you are in the first week of Advent, you light one purple candle, and for the second week, two purple candles. During the third week, you add the rose candle. Then for the final week, you light all four candles. These colors match the liturgical colors of the vestments for those weeks, with purple representing penance and rose representing rejoicing. WHICH CANDLE DO YOU LIGHT FIRST ON ADVENT? First Week: A purple candle Second Week: A second purple candle, in addition to the first week's candle. Third Week: The first two week's candles and the rose or pink candle. Fourth Week: All four candles. www.ewtn.com/advent/definitions.aspx First Sunday of Advent also marks the beginning of a new Liturgical Cycle of the Catholic Calendar November 29, 2020 is the beginning of Cycle B Our Mission We, the Church of St. Francis de Sales, are a Community of Believers in Jesus Christ, called to impact Family, Neighborhood, and Society with the Gospel so that people’s lives are filled with Hope.
